Yes. It really did! Your suggestions were great. Gospel scholar, you!

Many thanks! I gave the lesson using your suggestions. You rock!

Hey Reece, I hear you. I am the only member in my family and some of my relatives are ...not very nice people to put it mildly. Here is my psychologicall way of coping. I hope that those of higher kingdoms can visit those of lower kingdoms. Perhaps lds people will be able to spend a weekend with their relatives. I don't know. I feel sad as you do.

Dear Reece, I suggest that you go to the temple and pray in the celestial room.

Yes, you have real skills in that area!

Have you seen this, Carb? Did you like it?

I have been wondering about this. My local temple really needs more hours from it volunteers. I normally work 6 days a week so working weekly is hard for me. I wonder if G-d would help me in my work if I were to step up to thr plate and offer to work in the temple on a weekly rather than monthly basis?

I was watching the Magicians and then...oh my, the sexual content of one episiode put it in the no-go region. I tried watching "Just add Magic" a show for young girls but even I could not take the high saccharine level. I watched "The Americans" for a while. I should try this again.

From Healing the Tragic Scars of Abuse by Richard G. Scott. Caution I caution you not to participate in two improper therapeutic practices that may cause you more harm than good. They are: Excessive probing into every minute detail of your past experiences, particularly when this involves penetrating dialogue in group discussion; and blaming the abuser for every difficulty in your life. While some discovery is vital to the healing process, the almost morbid probing into details of past acts, long buried and mercifully forgotten, can be shattering. There is no need to pick at healing wounds to open them and cause them to fester. The Lord and his teachings can help you without destroying self-respect. There is another danger. Detailed leading questions that probe your past may unwittingly trigger thoughts that are more imagination or fantasy than reality. They could lead to condemnation of another for acts that were not committed. While likely few in number, I know of cases where such therapy has caused great injustice to the innocent from unwittingly stimulated accusations that were later proven false. Memory, particularly adult memory of childhood experiences, is fallible. Remember, false accusation is also a sin. Stated more simply, if someone intentionally poured a bucket of filth on your carpet, would you invite the neighbors to determine each ingredient that contributed to the ugly stain? Of course not. With the help of an expert, you would privately restore its cleanliness. Likewise, the repair of damage inflicted by abuse should be done privately, confidentially, with a trusted priesthood leader and, where needed, the qualified professional he recommends. There must be sufficient discussion of the general nature of abuse to allow you to be given appropriate counsel and to prevent the aggressor from committing more violence. Then, with the help of the Lord, bury the past. Something along these lines?

Gad no! Not that desperate yet.... Sounds like the song: Black socks: They never get dirty. The longer you wear them the stronger they get. Sometimes, I think of the laundry but something keeps telling me, don't send them yet.no never..no never..don't send them yet! I taught my niece that song, my sister was mad!

Hmm. I work at the temple. I have no idea why various pots and urns are scattered around. I am sure that the temple president is very knowledgeable but the rest of us? I suspect I was chosen for this job because I am polite to others! and I speak French...

I had no idea how addicted to caffeine I was until..I tried living without it! I have resorted to jumping up and down in my office to stay awake. I have also started jogging in the morning in order to ensure that I am awake during my commute to work. The depths to which I have fallen!

Didn't Swaggert tell people that if the audience did not send a certain sum of money that he would be 'called home', that is die?

Pleased to have you here!

Oh dear!

I met a lady working in the temple. She is 38 and she is going on a proslyting mission. Really! Apparently, women can go on proslyting missions until age 40. Thereafter, ladies can go on temple and family history missions. Who knew?

Some research found that people who watched soap operas were happier than those who did not. Researchers thought that maybe being part of a long running show audience was like having a group of friends. Once and awhile, I see someone on the street and think I recognize that person and then realise I was thinking of an actor playing a part!

I have a good handyman...Mormon!
